When I mess about trying to decide where to put the tiniest and most insignificant of flat back gem I call it Fiddle Farting, hence the name of the blog!!!

Framed Old Jewellery Collage

I have decorated the frames of old mirrors with old jewellery before, but have never done a collage (?), so this is my first attempt.I’ll be honest, I am not 100% about the black background. It might look better on some velvet fabric. Perhaps one day, when I’ve nothing better to do, I might look for some suitable fabric and change it. I am not sure how much of the main body of the piece would fall apart, it should be pretty tough as I used E900 clue, but it wouldn’t be too hard to put together again, and maybe add some more bits.

The Ribba shadow box frame came from Ikea, it measures 23 x 23cm and cost £3.50.

It's beautiful! My sister has done some shadow box collages, too, and I love hers, as well. I've not tried it myself. I think you could sell these, Helen, especially if they were done for a specific family using their loved one's old jewelry.
